Can someone tell me the difference between P01/P02 and P18/19? There is a new spare part available that combines two parts of P18 and P19, bu the A800/A800X doesn't use them. Are they specifically for the old A700?

since 2013 we haven't seen a need for the p18/19. it was a smaller part possibly to use in smaller models -- say a 1/12th

Does anyone know where to get an original lower aluminum chassis pt # A800-C01B-AL?

I have looked at all the usual places and no one seems to have one in stock.. Let me know if anyone has one for sale.

Thanks,
Brian

A wee bit off topic, but I wanted to share a positive experience dealing with Awesomatix USA.

I ordered a few times with them, goods came in quickly and were well packaged. Last order, there was a little mistake. I contacted the folks at Awesomatix USA and I very quickly got an answer. While it ended up being fine ( I had ordered some carpet cut Montech bodies for Awesomatix and got XRay instead) as the XRay body would fit fine and would be better for my use, they immediately offered to make things right if I was not satisfied.

In this age of web stores, it is sometimes complicated to get good service. In this case, I can say I wouldn't have had better service in a brick and mortar store and that I'm very satisfied with the answers and service I got from Awesomatix Usa store.

If these are truly gone, what other parts would I have to order with a new A800X chassis plate to make an A800A parts work with it?

To run an X chassis on an A car, at a minimum you will need the sway bar parts(p12x, ball bearings and the stoppers). I would suggest getting the rest of the parts (bulkheads, motor mount, top deck/st55) as well, as the chassis changes the handling quite a bit and the rest of the new parts help to work with it

Default Belt skipping noise

Big fan of this chassis and starting to have some success now that I have learned the setup mannerisms of the car.

On my mod car - had a funny noise under acceleration - sounded like a belt skipping. Was actually the center cog rubbing on the mount. Added more shims and she's good to go

I agree. I bought a used a700 car and was blown away buy the quality and design. No I have the new a800x car as well.

Default AM87 Alu Bumper Brace

Gents,

The brace is threaded, so am I to understand that you somehow use a long threaded screw from the bottom of the bumper mount?

I'm currently less than enthused with my current car and am again flirting with Awesomatix. I've read through all posts since the XA and XAH were announced and am trying to work out how feasible it would be to bring an A800A up to spec with the XAH.

Anybody have that handy or is it time to dive into comparing the two manuals? I know parts availability is another consideration. Thanks.
